According to this article, the four-volume-long shojo manga Venus Capriccio has been licensed by CMX. I've really enjoyed the scanlated chapters of this romantic comedy series*, so I was chagrined to see CMX describe the project as "unscheduled". (Frequently, "unscheduled" means the story will languish in licensing purgatory for months--sometimes years--before showing up in bookstores. I'm already emotionally attached to half-a-dozen apparently defunct series; I'm not up for another.) I always encourage people to buy licensed manga... but if CMX really sits on their hands, I can't help but hope the current scanlators continue it.
*The piano-student romance storyline is cute, if a little tired, and author Mai Nishikata's artwork is gorgeously clean and sharp.
